A World without Israel

We are encouraging all members to pause and think of Alan for one minute at 14.15 BST – the time that Alan's parents will release 100 balloons in their home village in Scotland.

At the same time, Alan's colleagues across the BBC will show their support for him, his friends and his family. We are urging all NUJ members to join with them in marking this event.

The NUJ will also deliver letters to the new Palestinian Prime Minister as well as to the UK Foreign Secretary urging them to redouble their efforts to secure Alan's release and to the Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate thanking them for their support and urging them to help keep Alan's case high on the political agenda.

Well, this is ironic. About 5 weeks after Alan was abducted in Gaza, the National Union of Journalists voted to boycott Israel, probably hoping that such an action would trigger Alan's release from grateful Palestinian terrorists. Appeasement didn't seem to work. Didn't work back in 1939 either.

Israel Creates more in One Month than Islam in a Century

I've received an email ascribing the following to Allan E. Mallenbaum, the founder and Chairman of the Jewish Survival Legion, and although I could not find the original source for the article, I was able to locate links for the assertions made in the email. I have added those links and some graphics where appropriate and added editorial comments in brackets []. Here is the article:

Despite the second Lebanon war, the divestments, and the boycotts, Israel's economy enjoyed the largest growth in its GNP of any Western country at 8% for the last quarter of 2006. Foreign investment hit a remarkable high of over US$13 billion and the budget deficit was under 1%. Industrial exports, excluding diamonds, rose 11% to $29.3 billion in 2006 with the hi-tech sector leading the surge, according to the Manufacturers Association of Israel. Israel's hi-tech industry exported $14.1 billion in goods last year, growing 20% from 2005.

A Britisher's View - JFK Plot is Work of a Unified Terror Mindset

From Brigitte Gabriel:

A Britisher's View - JFK Plot is Work of a Unified Terror Mindset An article by Shavana Abruzzo

It comes as no surprise that the three suspects arrested in connection with the plot to blow up JFK Airport are tied to a Caribbean group, whose evil sheep are largely black converts to Sunni Islam. More and more members of the globe's disenchanted black communities appear to have found bliss and confirmation in the world's fastest-growing religion, fattening its rolls to more than one billion, and giving more fodder and tinder to its radical sector.

Indeed, the ties between radical Islam and African Americans stretch back decades. In 1985, Libyan dictator-turned-sneaky-mouse Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi gave a five-million-dollar loan to self-professed anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan and his Nation of Islam gang. In the years that followed, while New York City licked its wounds and weathered the racial woes exacerbated by the likes of Farrakhan, the relationship between him and al-Gaddafi appeared to flourish with the thug pledging the tyrant one billion dollars, back in 1996, if he could stir up a civil war in the United States. The feds squashed that plan, promptly. Yet, upon his 2002 visit to Iraq, the cancer-riddled and still bombastic Farrakhan proudly pronounced, "the Muslim American people are praying to the almighty God to grant victory to Iraq."

The arrests of Russell Defreitas in New York, and former Guyanese politician Abdul Kadir and Trinidadian KareemIbrahim in Trinidad, are proof enough that America's enemies are not limited to Osama bin Ladin and al Qaeda. Like cockroaches, new and insidious terror cells are multiplying on the ground and in cyber space, swelling their ranks with haters of the Free World, and gaining the admiration and sponsorship of rogue Middle East nations.

Yet, whatever part of the world these groups and their cowardly co-horts hail from - America, Great Britain, France, Iran, Iraq, Guyana, Indonesia, Spain, Yemen, Iraq, etc., ad nauseum - they possess an unmitigated common denominator: they are all Muslims. They are willing to cause untold death and destruction - just for the sake of it. They are chomping at the bit to kill innocent men, women and children - just for the sake of it. They are dying to die because, ultimately, their version of Islam affords them no life. They are further emboldened by a terrified liberal front, which is content to hurl misplaced blame at those very progressive societies that have replaced their barbaric histories with the reason, logic and compassion that have now become their Achilles heel.

It is that same liberal front, which refuses to condemn Islamic terrorists, instead seeking sycophantic refuge in the ingratiation of our enemies.

With Muslim terror cells snuggled and prepped to activate wherever and whenever across the globe - their nuclear ambitions waiting to be realized on the Internet, thanks to the free enterprise of exiled Pakistani nuke bandit A. Q. Khan - it has become clear that our foes comprise a rainbow coalition of wickedness. It is also clear that mainstream Muslims are the only ones capable of harnessing their terrorist brothers and sisters. Theirs is an insular community, which is privy to - if not a part of - their radical elements.

Yet, with each new act of terror and each foiled attempt, it is obvious that mainstream Muslims are not interested in stemming the terror. They are busy beating the same old drum as they request more tolerance and immunity from a depleted world.

Sure enough, the industrialized community is finally beginning to lash out with CondeNast International Chairman Jonathan Newhouse furiously rejecting, last week, a proposal to print an Islamic version of "Vogue" in the Middle East because of that region's "violent elements." The rest of us can thank our lucky stars that American authorities are on the job - 24 hours a day, seven days week, 365 days a year. Thanks to their vigilance, Muslim hoodlums, such as Russell Defreitas, Abdul Kadir and Kareem Ibrahim are in custody, while the hunt continues for their partners in crime.

In the meantime, Islam's mainstream followers - the ones, who dissociate themselves from the zealots by practicing gall - fail to realize that the infection of terrorism has become such an epidemic that it is only a matter of time before the Free World holds a global convention on Islam to unearth its countless layers and lairs of sub-human, ticking timebombs.

Layers and Lairs. Thanks Brigitte for the timely and and somewhat terrifying article.

HRW Condemns Palestinian War Crimes

The Messiah must be on the way. Human Rights Watch condemns Palestinian war crimes and makes no mention of Israel or the "occupation". This from HRW;

(New York, June 13, 2007) – During recent fighting in the Gaza Strip, armed Palestinian groups have committed serious violations of international humanitarian law, in some cases amounting to war crimes, Human Rights Watch said today.

In internal Palestinian fighting over the last three days, both Fatah and Hamas military forces have summarily executed captives, killed people not involved in hostilities, and engaged in gun battles with one another inside and near Palestinian hospitals. On Saturday, armed Palestinians from Islamic Jihad and the Fatah-affiliated Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade used a vehicle with a “TV” insignia to attack an Israeli military position on the border with Gaza.

“These attacks by both Hamas and Fatah constitute brutal assaults on the most fundamental humanitarian principles,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director for Human Rights Watch. “The murder of civilians not engaged in hostilities and the willful killing of captives are war crimes, pure and simple.”

On Sunday, Hamas military forces captured 28-year-old Muhammad Swairki, a cook for President Mahmoud Abbas’s presidential guard, and executed him by throwing him to his death, with his hands and legs tied, from a 15-story apartment building in Gaza City. Later that night, Fatah military forces shot and captured Muhammad al-Ra’fati, a Hamas supporter and mosque preacher, and threw him from a Gaza City high-rise apartment building. On Monday, Hamas military forces attacked the home in Beit Lahiya of Jamal Abu al-Jadiyan, a senior Fatah official, captured him, and executed him on the street with multiple gunshots. On Tuesday, there were reports of additional killings of individuals not involved in hostilities.

In the June 9 incident, four armed Palestinians drove a white jeep bearing “TV” insignias to a fence on the Gaza-Israel border and fired at Israeli soldiers. The Israelis returned fire, killing one Palestinian. Spokesmen for Islamic Jihad and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, an offshoot of Fatah, claimed responsibility for the attack. An Islamic Jihad spokesperson denied that Palestinians had put press markings on the jeep used in the June 9 attack, and accused the Israeli military of doing so after the fact. However, photos taken by the Associated Press as the attack was under way show the letters “TV” written in red on the front of the jeep.

If anyone needs info as to where to send their donations to further help the Palestinian cause, please call the EU for details.

A Fatwa to Die For

The Christians do it; the Jews do it; even the Muslims do it. Ask advice from their priests, rabbis, or imams. We no longer take every single word of the Bible, Torah, or Koran as Gospel. Sure, a few hundred years ago you could stone your neighbor to death for adultery, but nowadays, modern society does not take kindly to people who follow the Ten Commandments literally. Indeed, if we killed all the corporate execs who kept their businesses open on the Sabbath, we would have a pile of bodies so large that it would put Adolph Hitler to shame.

Of course, places like Pakistan and Iran still live in the most savage of dark ages, so when I say modern society, I am speaking about modern civilized society.

Living in modern times is difficult enough without bringing religion into the equation. For example, being an Atheist, I would have very few questions about hiring a surrogate mother if my wife were unable to carry a baby to term. But suppose you and your wife are Jewish, and you plant a fertilized egg from both of you into a non-Jewish surrogate mother, the question is will the child still be Jewish? Answer: No [according to Rabbi Yisroel Finman of Ask a Rabbi]. The surrogate mother has to be Jewish as well.

Joe Lieberman calls on US to launch a strike on Iran

We all knew this was coming and Lieberman is right - the US must launch a strike on Iran. The time for talk has been long over. Talk is wasted words - dust in the wind. It is time now to act. Lieberman had this to say on CBS’s, Face the Nation.

Sen. Joseph Lieberman said Sunday the United States should consider a military strike against Iran because of Teheran’s alleged involvement with Iraqi insurgents.

“I think we’ve got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq,” Lieberman said. “And to me, that would include a strike over the border into Iran, where we have good evidence that they have a base at which they are training these people coming back into Iraq to kill our soldiers.”

The United States accuses Iran of fostering terrorism and Teheran’s nuclear ambitions have brought about international reproach.

Lieberman, the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2000 who now represents Connecticut as an independent, spoke of Iran’s alleged role in the continued violence in Iraq.

“By some estimates, they have killed as many as 200 American soldiers,” he said. “Well, we can tell them we want them to stop that. But if there’s any hope of the Iranians living according to the international rule of law and stopping, for instance, their nuclear weapons development, we can’t just talk to them.

“If they don’t play by the rules, we’ve got to use our force, and to me, that would include taking military action to stop them from doing what they’re doing.”

Lieberman said much of the action could probably be done by air, although he would leave the strategy to the generals in charge.

“But they can’t believe that they have immunity for training and equipping people to come in and kill Americans,” he said. “We cannot let them get away with it. If we do, they’ll take that as a sign of weakness on our part and we will pay for it in Iraq and throughout the region and ultimately right here at home.”

Lieberman spoke on “Face the Nation” on CBS.

Lieberman said, “bomb Iran if it doesn’t stop.” The Senator said he was not calling for an end to the limited diplomatic efforts that are underway between Washington and Tehran.

“We can tell them we want them to stop that, but if there’s any hope of the Iranians living according to the international rule of law and stopping, for instance, their nuclear weapons development, we can’t just talk to them,” Lieberman said. “If they don’t play by the rules, we’ve got to use our force and to me that would include taking military action to stop them from doing what they’re doing.”

Iran must be stopped - the line in the sand has been drawn, and it stops here.

40 years now 40 years in the desert then

In 1446 BC in the Sinai, the Israelites had among their tribes people like Harry Reid and Hillary Clinton and John Murtha. Do you know what happens when you allow defeatists in your midst? You wander the desert for 40 years. What happened back then did not happen in June of 1967, but unfortunately is happening now in Israel and the United States. And what is happening is that defeatists have taken control of both countries. Let me explain.

For those of my readers who are not students of the Bible, let me give you a quick explanation of why God commanded Moses to wander the desert for 40 years before allowing the Israelites to enter the promised land.
